Cannot Change Read Only Attributes
Sep 25, 2011
I am still experiencing the dreaded Windows 7 "let us take control of your system" scenarios. As usual, if I create a folder and attempt to save in it, I am denied access, though this is not such an issue, as I use Take Ownership to handle this.
My problem is all of the subfolder in the My Documents folder have Read Only as the attribute and I have tried everything I know to change it.
As a last resort I have used a command prompt and used the attrib command to do the job, but with no success trying various different combinations. I tried just running command normally and then tried it as an administrator, but again no success.
This was the final command I tried attrib -r +a "H:My Documents*.*" /S /D but still no success. Does anyone know a way that will work to remove the read only attributes from all of my folders?

my wampserver 2.0 used to show localhost in the browser but when i upgraded to 2.2 it changed to 127.0.0.1 in the browser. Though they mean the same, i would want it to show "localhost" in the browser.

Windows 7 ProAdministrator Acct.
Desktop background photos are stored in this hidden folder C:WindowsGlobalizationMCTMCT-USWallpaper
There are other folders in C:WindowsGlobalizationMCT that I want to use as well but not allowed to change properties.
I copied them into the MCT-US folder on 1 computer but would rather just change properties on my other computers.

I accidentally took away the attributes on a game, after then it would come up, my screen would change to black and white, then the program would exit and the launcher would be saying a error occurred. I uninstalled and re-installed, but the program didn't come up. the screen would do the same thing but before changing back to normal it would bring up a message saying that it had stopped working when it didn't even show up.so i would press " close program and it changed back. i have no idea how to bring it back to normal unless I wipe the computer.

How do I turn off all indexing of files/folders?
I have a 500GB HDD partitioned as 3 parts, C=OS, D=My Data, E=Misc.
I have a pgm that will search thru my files/folders better than Windows search, so I tried to get rid of Windows indexing - had to manually turn off quite a few by hand, but there are SOME that it tells me I can NOT do it, even though I am operating as administrator.
Also, I have seen that there are now 2 additional letters than show up in the attribute column "I" & "N". The I meaning that the file is 'indexed' and the N that it is NOT!
Is there not a way to get rid of BOTH these attributes?

In Windows Seven x64, from Outlook 2007, I save a message in the .msg format on my C: drive in the Documents folder.
In explorer, I select the "Details" view and I add a column to see the "From" attribute. Nothing shows in this column.

What's the best type of DVD to use for read-only and read/write applications? I'm a little out-of-date on this, haven't bought any in awhile. I remember things like DVD-R/RW and DVD+RW and such. I have a new machine running Win7, and an older laptop running XP.

TLDR: I get the "A disk read error occurred" error but the system disk is readable and checks OK in the recovery USB. So, I have two hard drives--a terabyte drive with some data on it and a smaller drive with the Windows 7 installation on it--and a USB drive. I made the USB drive into a recovery USB using the instructions here Installing Windows 7 System Recovery into USB Flash Drive | Raymond.CC Blog with the addendum found in the comments. I made a system image of the smaller drive via the control panel and then put the image in the terabyte drive. I then replaced my smaller hard drive with a new drive of a comparable size.In order to restore the drive, I booted into the recovery USB, formatted the new hard drive with ntfs, made it active, and ran wbadmin start recovery -version:xxx -items:C: -itemtype:Volume -backupTarget:C: -recoveryTarget: where C was the terabyte drive and D is the new drive. I may have the drives mixed up here, but I assure you I had them correct when I actually ran the command
After a reset, I got some generic error so I went back into the bios, and set the new drive to be at the top of all boot lists, and then rebooted. It was at this time I got the above error. I feared that my drive was actually DOA, so I booted back into the recovery. I did a D:;dir and saw that all of my old files did indeed exist, so I figure it was a boot issue. I ran the boot repair utility in the recovery menu and it said there were no errors and I should restart. I didn't restart, and instead ran a chkdsk D: /f and found no errors. I did a bootsect /nt60 /all /mbr and restarted and still nothing changed. I even tried a "bcdedit /timeout 10" and I do not see the boot loader before getting this error. Not sure if that is expected or not but I'll throw that in here.

We are running a small network with a NAS and networked PC's. The PC's are all running Windows 7 Ultimate. One PC will open files already open by others and does not notify that the file is in use. This user enters information into the file, saves and closes.When the original user (accessing the file first, sometimes adds information) saves and closes the file, the changes from the second user are lost.
